Everyone knows that love is hard to come by but what they don’t know is how to handle it when it does come by. Many things in life can destroy a happy marriage or the perfect relationship. Relationships are not pitch perfect as they show in movies. To be in relationship it is essential to take a responsibility to stick with it when things go wrong. Dishonesty, long distance, mistrust, misunderstandings, difference in priorities, circumstances etc. there are endless reasons that can ruin Love. Biggest of which are Lust, Power and Greed. A philosopher Jullan Baggini says “…. At its best, however, all love is a kind a passionate commitment that we nurture and develop, even though it usually arrives in our lives unbidden. That's why it is more than just a powerful feeling. Without the commitment, it is mere infatuation. Without the passion, it is mere dedication. Without nurturing, even the best can wither and die”. Why can’t it just be a magical feeling that two people feel for each other without all the scientific and social explanations.. Love can easily be destroyed if these 3 things: Lust, Power and Greed invade the relationship.

First of all let’s talk about Lust. Lust is the most common feeling very closely associated with Love. Lust is easily confused with Love. A person in Lust thinks that he or she is in love, which is what confuses them. What does lust mean? Lust is "Very strong sexual desire.", as oppose to love which is "An intense feeling of deep affection.". When you are in love the feeling is not only made of physical attraction but also an intense feeling of fondness for the other person. Whereas in Lust, there is absence of any emotions further then of sexual nature. Lust is self-serving, love is unlimited and unselfish, and although love doesn't exclude lust, it's handy to know the difference between the two. Love is the building of a foundation of a relationship between two people where no matter whether they are in the...

...﻿Love is one of the greatest gifts that were given to mankind. Love is a word whose definition is as broad yet it’s understood. As simple as the word Love may seem; to define it may be one of the most difficult things to do. People express Love differently as we seen in the four speeches from Phaedrus, Pausanius, Eryximachus and Aristphanes.
Phaedrus who is considered to probably be least inexperienced than the others because he is the youngest of the speakers expressed a few valid points in his speech when it came to what he felt defined whatLove is. Love is a Great God. When a person loves he/she would do anything in their means to show it for example being a positive role model and showing them what to do and what not to do. You would never allow your loved one to witness any shameful acts. You would go to any measure to protect them if they are in harm’s way even if it means sacrificing your own life. It’s human nature to demonstrate these types of characteristics naturally for someone you love. This type of behavior is unconditional. Although Phaedrus stated within his speech that true love could only be between an older man and his younger counterpart. I have discovered a few contradictions. Phaedrus states no one would die for you but your lover even if she is a woman....

...2. What are some of the ways that a document examiner might try to match a questioned document to a specific typewriter? What aspects might they look at?ove is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment.[1] It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.[3]
Ancient Greeks identified four forms of love: kinship or familiarity (in Greek, storge), friendship (philia), sexual and/or romantic desire (eros), and self-emptying or divine love (agape).[4][5] Modern authors have distinguished further varieties of romantic love.[6] Non-Western traditions have also distinguished variants or symbioses of these states.[7] This diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative...

What is Love?
Love is one of the most difficult words to define. I challenge you to try. You can even go the easy way and simply Google the word “love”. What you will find is not one but hundreds of definitions along with countless books, movies, and songs all having to do with love. The reason why it is so hard to define love is because there are different forms/stages of love and there are so many things that love can consist of. Also, love can have a different definition to every one of us. We all have different experiences and different beliefs which play an important role in how we think about love. Love doesn’t just start with the perfect first kiss and end with a happily ever after. There is so much more to it than that, so don’t fall into believing that love happens instantly like in most fairytales. In the article “The Science of Romance: Why We Love” by Jeffrey Kluger, the author describes the stages that a person goes through when falling in love. These stages are important to understand when trying to define whatlove is and where love takes us. I believe that we use the concept of “love” to get to a stable, meaningful relationship that will eventually...

...﻿What is love?
“I love you”. No other sequence of words has so much power; these words have the power to strengthen a bond, weaken a relationship, ruin a friendship or bring two people together. The concept of love is puzzling and we have struggled to understand it for centuries, everything between the Greek goddess Aphrodite and today’s Romantic comedies have attempted to comprehend and explain it. The theme oflove is popular in Donne’s early poetry. His understanding of love from the perspective of a protestant preacher reveals much about the anti-Christian sentiments and of the scientific revolution of the 17th century. A close analysis of Donne’s poem, “Love’s Alchemy” and of the film “When Harry Met Sally” reveals the strength behind Donne’s idea that sex is the end goal in relationships and that true love is physical.
In the first two lines of “Love’s Alchemy” Donne sets up his attack on platonic love when he compares it to the unsuccessful results of alchemy. The words “deeper digged love’s mine” (1) creates the association between platonic love and alchemy. The mine represents both the physical mine in which we find base metals, and secondly the spiritual mine in which we find love. For Donne, the idea of platonic love is as worthless as the metals pulled from the mine – and much like the...

What is Love?
According to Webster’s dictionary the word love is described as a strong, positive emotion of regard and affection. But in society today it seems as if we throw the word love around in such a loose manner it really has lost its meaning. Ranging from “I love Coach purses”, to actually telling a person “I love you” is now a common thing. Throughout this essay I’ll be taking a philosophical approach to help give a better understanding of whatlove is according to the speakers in the Symposium, and which conception of love I believe is most compelling.
In the Symposium, each speaker decides to compose his own eulogy of Love. It all starts on page 9 with Eryximachus stating, “It’s terrible that people have given serious attention to subjects like that, but nobody to this day has yet had the courage to sing the praises of Love as he deserves. Such a great god and so neglected!” They all agree and Phaedrus is the one to speak first. He starts is eulogy by saying that “Love was regarded by humans and gods as a great and awesome god for many reasons, especially his origin.” On page 11 he also discusses love as being something someone is willing to die for. Take for example, Pelias’ daughter Alcestis, who was the only one...

Introduction
Love has always been and interesting topic to me because it seems to have no limitations; desired by many, and disregarded by some. Have you ever heard the expression ‘’Love is a universal language’’? What does this really mean? People around the world use the word “love” to express themselves in many forms and fashions. Articulated here by Harriet Sun, in her article College Sex & Love: What is true love? Harriet exemplifies simple common uses of the word: “Love. It's a commonly thrown around four-letter word. "I love macaroni and cheese." "I love Vanilla Ice." (Remember that?) Sometimes, even an "I love him" or "I love her."”[1] We all have our own ideas as to whatlove means to us, but this is usually based upon our own personal experiences and emotions, not factual evidence. I wanted to further investigate as to what the “real meaning” of love is and how it effects people...

What is love?
There are many opinions on whatlove is, is love solely just chemistry, or biologically, a powerful neurological condition like when we are hungry or thirsty, just in a more permanent state. We talk about love being blind or unconditional, in the sense that we have no control over the feeling. Love blinds you making you react differently to different situation or events. Love has been written, made to a song or a verse or even to a beautiful ballad, we even try to capture it in movies. Who does not melt when they see a guy trying to win a women’s heart by doing grand gestures? Who doesn’t want to be serenated by the guy that you love and takes your breath away? Who would not love to have you mother or father pick you up when you’re down? Who would not love to be proposed to while looking out in the ocean while the sun is se5ttting and just say I love you will you marry me till forever! Or better yet just have a friend be their when your down and sick and not able to pick yourself up. No matter if it’s your Family, Friend, Or significant other or Partner Everyone dreams and wants love like that When you here a song In the car, it reacts a feeling that is so intense that can only be described as...
